Brief Description:  Begin Riveting Firewall

Reassembled all the firewall pieces and found a tip on the VAF website to leave out certain rivets that are used for later additions to the firewall. Marked them with some blue tape and used the squeezer to set rivets I could reach. Once done with those I decided to mount the firewall vertically to have access to both sides for riveting the rest of the stiffeners with the gun. Moved the workbench next to a vertical post in the shop and clamped the firewall with 2x4s to help support. This worked well and I was able to set most of the rivets by myself.
